about
"As much as I love Ripple, I felt the studio version didn't live up to how it was performed live. So in 2016, I decided to set up in Answer Studio - where I would record the "Uh-huh..." album - and have a go at trying to capture how it felt in the room/on stage when we'd perform the song live."
"Some people have heard this version before - some people love it and understand what I'm trying to do sonically and ambience-wise, whereas some people focus more on the original version as that was the first version they heard.
"Honestly, I don't mind which version people prefer - it's the song itself that I'd hope people connect with. This new version was for me, and I guess for Chris and Neal too." (Simon York, Jan 2024)
lyrics
All you ever were was something to her…
All you’ll ever be to me is a footnote in my history.
All you are is falling sands, through my fingers you will flow
Like waters to the rivers run, you will wash away when the water’s done.
All they’ll ever know is that you were supposedly hurt…
All the facts are here to stay - I don’t care if you twist and turn.
All you are is falling sands, through my fingers you will flow
Like waters to the rivers run, you will wash away when the water’s done.
In the water…
All you are is falling sands, through my fingers you will flow .
Like waters to the rivers run, you will watch and we will grow
All you is falling sands, through my fingers you will flow
Like waters to the rivers run, you will wash away when the water’s done.
When the water’s done…
